We continue sorting through anomalies with Godaddy Tech Support to resolve Standards Michigan requirement for frequent and timely updates across all of our platforms. We got half the problem solved last month when we upgraded to WordPress 6.8.1 but updating was slow on mobile devices. Now we need another PHP update. Our normal course of business will not be interrupted as far as our daily colloquia is concerned but we cannot predict the outcome on the images which are an essential part of our work.
- Posts are not updating across all platforms — particularly on X on iPhones. Usually a caching problem and not one we haven’t seen before.
- Some images will not center.
- Footer and right-side widgets not loading properly.
The good news is that all our content, including media, survived the WordPress upgrade. The next step in our “GoDaddy Journey” will be the PHP upgrade this week. There will likely be surprises but none that we cannot handle.
Much like hardware in ICT, software must also be maintained.
This page will be posted to our X-feed: @StandardsMich to remind our colleagues and followers that software needs to be “maintained”
